Sorting through "new" floats...

I was unable to go beachcombing recently, so I had someone pick up a few glass fishing floats off the beaches of the Aleutians over the past few weeks. I just sorted through about 250 floats. It is, by far, one of my favorite things to do. It is like opening up gifts on Christmas morning. I look at each float individually & classify them into different categories. I started listing a few in my Etsy store.

Here is a photo of them before I cleaned them & another of them sitting in the tub of water I use to clean them. I will be listing more in my store within the next few days! I found some beauties! :)

Gosh, I didn't know how these glass floats were obtained. It is pretty cool! I'm completely loving your blog and everything glassie...floatie...and junkie :-)I also came from Completely coastal blog. Love you girlies!!

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm new to the blog world, but I am really enjoying it. I am going to keep adding new stuff on here as I can. I wish I could take you all on a beachcombing trip for floats!! It's SO exciting! Maybe one day I'll organize a trip!

About Me...

After transplanting myself from Oklahoma to Alaska & living there for 12 years, I made another huge move to the Oregon Coast. I lived there for 2 1/2 years & I'm now in Washington. I originally moved to Alaska to follow my dream of flying & somewhere along my journey, I ran across glass fishing floats. Over the past 9 years, these little treasures have taken over my heart, along with my house! I have a substantial collection of rare & unique floats from all over the world. I like to share their uniqueness, history & beauty with anyone that is interested!
